Re: Pshychoanalysis anyone?

i don’t see why you couldn’t do both. I’m a big fan of CBT for generalized anxiety and intrusive negative thinking. I think I need to read back over the generalized anxiety stuff. I’m pretty good at recognizing negative thinking now, but I am still getting so worked up and procrastinating horribly by constant worrying. ADHD treatment is helpful for not thinking about all my worries at the same time, some motivation, and doing one thing at a time, and avoiding distractions. but I am still a worrier by nature!!!!

long-term vs short term therapy is really important for deep seated emotional issues ie. trauma and etc.

also, an ADHD specialist could work with you on your fears of addiction.

i was in therapy for years. I’m not sure what I got out of it except for mindfulness about how emotionally reactive I was and how distorted much of my thinking was. I don’t think I ever found the right therapist match. I’m stubborn and it had to be my way. I got the most out of using these concepts in a professional setting. such a perfectionist that if a grade or work performance review was coming, i was on it.

this website was so helpful for me.

especially this module: http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/resources/infopax.cfm?Info_ID=46

although best results do come from face to face rather than self-learning. i need to go back over that packet in a bad way lol.
